Washington Post reporter Dan Balz today discusses Sen. John Edwards lack of foreign policy experience on the front page. In the story, Balz, who lately hasn’t much profound to say in such “analysis” pieces, nonetheless states what’s been missing from such discussion in the past. One can understand why the right wing Fox talking heads don’t mention it, but the mainstream press should: Dubya had NO foreign policy experience before becoming president. From The Post:
Edwards has served three years on the Senate intelligence committee…. Edwards’s advisers challenge those who question the North Carolina senator’s foreign policy credentials. He has, they say, as much experience or more than did Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter when they were first elected.
